now that is a boxster :) as a porsche fan ive always hated the first gen boxster. the current one is not bad at all as i would still prefer cayman. but this new one is certainly looking sexy. imagine this one tuned by 9ff or ruf. it will fly.

mmm i like it, I only think that the lower part of the front bumper is a bit to boxy, and the lights are a bit to big and they should be pushed a bit forward...but it looks very nice.

The front end and headlights remind me a little of the carrera GT. If the production car looks like this, i bet it will do well.

I hope it will look better than this. The front end is oversized and looks too much like the Carrera GT's. The rest of the body with the exception of the interior looks almost identical to the outgoing Boxster. I can only think that this artist didn't really take the rendering seriously although it was the cover of last month's Road & Track magazine.

the front is way too long for a rear engined car, kinda pointlessly. I also doubt porsche would bastardize their ultimate car the Carrera GT by putting the headlights onto a boxter of all models. The front bumper was a cut and paste from the audi R8. i dont think the new boxter will deviate too much from the current 911 because after all its the poor mans 911, who would buy a boxter if it didnt look like a 160,000$ porsche??

We will wait for Porsche Chief Designer, Michael Mauer, to show us what it looks like the next generation of Boxster.

dream on gentlemen , it's only an artist's unbridled imagination/passion that conceived this beautiful automobile. a lot of production realities are still way ahead that could easily reduce this artform into something less than expected. the Grant Larsen 1993 Boxster protoype is one such example. the question here now is that : WOULD PORSCHE BE WILLING TO DETHRONE ITS 911 IN THE AESTHETICS/DYNAMICS FRONT ?

the question here now is that : WOULD PORSCHE BE WILLING TO DETHRONE ITS 911 IN THE AESTHETICS/DYNAMICS FRONT ? Sooner or later, Porsche is going to move beyond the antiquated 911 concept. Mid-engined is the future, rear-engine, the past. I hope the new Boxster is as exciting as the concept shown.

perhaps so. but relocating the engine amidships would impinge on the rear seats which would have to be deleted as a result , thereby going against Ferdinand Porsche's ORIGINAL 2+2/REAR - CANTILEVERED ENGINE LAYOUT since time immemorial. you better call your proposed alternative vehicle 9...something else because what you are suggesting is a complete obliteration of this time-proven , sacrosanct formula.

Yes it's true that Rear engined Porsches have had rear seats but a rear seat with no headroom except for small children is meaningless for most people. The mid-engined layout means optimum handling and cornering and that's the more relevant value for most Porschephiles.
